to the tune: Jingle Bells
by Mrs. Stelle
Are you insincere?
Or are your words compelling?
On stuff that happened to you once,
to make the tale worth telling?
Dashing through the snow,
or slogging through the melt,
are words that let the reader know
exactly how you felt.
Chorus:
Oh, share with us
your point of view
tell it from the heart
storytelling, after all,
is not science, it’s art.
Do you add suspense?
And make us laugh or cry?
Are you fun to listen to
like Bill Nye The Science Guy?
Recalling sounds and smells
that were in the air,
as you paint the scenario
will take your reader there.
Chorus:
Oh, share with us
your point of view
tell it from the heart
storytelling, after all,
is not science, it’s art.
